Ever wonder how to become a professional eater, the story behind the Siri or how the career of an Instagram Meme Curator started? Well we have the podcast for you, Vic and Stu on the Tues mixes both comedy and interesting guests to bring you great info and a fun time. With Vic currently living in Quito, Ecuador, we are also launching Vida La Vic. A weekly blog partly about travel, and partly about adjusting to new city in a new continent.

We’re a pod of the people, so if you have any suggestions or comments regarding the podcasts give us a shout at vicandstupodcast@gmail.com and be sure to like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram and twitter @vicandstu.

After two long months of living vicariously through Victor, I finally got to see Ecuador through my own eyes last week. Victor convinced me to write a blog about our incredible weekend together, so we each took different parts of the adventure. Make sure you read his post here!

I landed in Quito on a Thursday morning, groggy and disoriented after a red-eye flight and layover in Panama City. Thankfully, I was only responsible for a couple of small tasks: getting through customs without saying anything stupid, and finding Sr. Bolivar, the driver Victor had arranged. I managed to accomplish both of these tasks uneventfully, and was quickly on my way to downtown Quito.

The plan was to meet Victor at a restaurant below his apartment called The Green Choice, so I found a table and waited. After asking the store clerk for the wifi password and getting iPhone pictures of her granddaughter instead — the first of many signs that my Spanish is not what it used to be — Victor finally found me. Turns out I was in the smoothie store below The Green Choice. Oops. We took a few minutes to unpack and eat empanadas before he had to return to work, and I decided to follow him downtown to take advantage of the sunny afternoon in Quito. I took a pit stop at his office, mostly to confirm that Victor actually works while he is in Ecuador. For those readers who are wondering the same thing, I can say that he has at least found a convincing way to fake it 🙂

For the rest of the afternoon, I explored the gorgeous Parque La Carolina and wandered around Quito’s professional district. That evening, I would get my first real taste of what makes Quito special when we had dinner at a traditional Ecuadorian restaurant in the chic La Floresta district near Victor’s apartment. I ate seco de pollo as my main dish, a full plate of chicken, rice, and hot aji sauce. But the true winner was the appetizer: locro de papas. As only a true gringa could observe, the thick soup tastes like someone put mac n’ cheese and mashed potatoes into a blender and added avocado to the top. In other words, I could eat this three times a day. We ended our night with a canelazo (a warm, cinnamon-y, strong drink) at a nearby bar called El Pobre Diablo. Anthony Bourdain visited this bar when he filmed an episode of his travel show in Ecuador; since this episode was responsible for 99% of Victor’s knowledge of the country before he moved, it was only right to pay homage.

On this week’s Vic and Stu on the Tues, entrepreneur Taylor Dixon joins the pod to discuss how she became a business owner right out of college, landed clients and started a new career as a mind-set business coach. If you weren’t motivated before listening, you’ll be ready to take on life after this one. She even life coaches the boys out of their problems. Any female listeners interested in joining one of her programs check her out on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/taylorloucoaching/. She still has a spot so hurry on up!

After the interview, friend of the pod Joey Levenson hops in for your favorite segments like “Beagle News” and “Weird Food Stories” along with some other topics like how to find an apartment in a new city. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Don’t forget to leave a review for the contest! #BabyMcBabyFace

On this weeks Vic and Stu on the Tues, we are joined by the New Yorker cartoonist Jason Adam Katzenstein. We get into the career of a cartoonist, the method that goes into creating, drawing cartoons in the age of Trump and even brainstorm a couple ideas. If you are interested in the book he illustrated, you can buy Camp Midnight here.

After that, the boys get into some segments. We have a listener story to follow up from our “American Vandal” conversation last week, updates on Ecuador, Vic’s weird food story of the week and a new segment “Beagle Update”. Of course we recap our contest, and we are definitely still searching for more entries to #NameTheKing.

Missed you guys last week, but this week we get back into it. We take time catching up with the boys with Stu’s move to #Atlanta and Vic’s big move to #Quito, #Ecuador. We have our first international pod to talk about adjusting to life in Ecuador.
